"We watched "A Civil Action" for my wifes school project and found it quite revealing. It shows how a lawyer gave up everything to fight two large corporations to correct environmental problems they caused. The Lawyer was young, naive and unstructured which made his results less than stellar. However, he has since matured and won some very important cases to make companies responsible for poluting our environment (and killing people).
